I weigh 173, I was on the treadmill for 68 mins, the program I did has a 4 min warm up and a 4 min cool down.
after the warm up, the walking levels go something like this:
walking 3.5 incline 5
walking 3.7 incline 3
walking 3.5 incline 5
walking 3.7 incline 3
I did this this for 60 mins. I did a similar program with no incline and burned about 250 calories at the YMCA last week. Since I added the incline I'm assuming it's more, but I can't figure out how to calculate the calories burned. The calories on my treadmill are never correct because the heart rate is never correct, I do use a heart rate monitor and the heart rate is always off by about 45 beats!. I normally work out at the YMCA but because of time restraints I worked out at home today. Does any have an exercise site that they normally use?
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance

There is an option on here under exercise that is walking at 3.5mph uphill so I would just figure out how much of a difference it is for the uphill cals burned compared to the flat surface and go from there. It isn't going to be an exact amt but I think it's as close as you can get.0

That worked perfectly, thank you! I checked the exercise listing and must have not even seen that one! I appreciate your "making" me see it!0
